On Thursday, May 27 at 7 p.m., international and #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Kwan visits The Music Hall’s virtual stage as part of the Writers on a New England Stage series, now being presented in an intimate, online format. The iconic author of the bestselling novel Crazy Rich Asians returns with the glittering tale of a young woman who finds herself torn between two men and two very different cultures in his latest novel SEX AND VANITY. Beyond memorable characters and popular appeal, Kwan’s books touch on serious themes of race, identity, and class structure. Recent attacks on Asian Americans in our country have brought attention to these issues and fostered national self-reflection.
The 7 p.m. event includes an audience Q&A and a literary conversation with Peter Biello, host of New Hampshire Public Radio’s broadcast of All Things Considered and The Weekly New Hampshire News Roundup. Books are available for purchase (Sex and Vanity, $17, paperback) through The Music Hall’s Box Office — available for pick-up or shipment.
